Well, Microsoft is getting ready to annoy its faithful Windows 10 user base with yet another prompt. This time, Microsoft wants Windows 10 users to switch from using a local account to their online Microsoft account.

Knock it off, Microsoft. You're not my buddy, you're an OS. Your job is to sit down, shut up, and run the programs I choose. That's it.
If I find a function that's useful for more than a week, I might make a batch file for it. Until then, you're spare code.

Personally I love that Microsoft did this. Please keep making windows more and more shit and annoying to use so people will switch to something else

You vastly underestimate the tolerance of an average user who barely knows their way around a web browser and Word.
